Topmount screwed.... any ideas????

[j191.freeman]

Went to fit my coilovers this afternoon, first step, loosen topmount nut, FAIL. Basically ive rounded off the 6mm hex hole on the strut, any ideas to get this off now?

its not a hex hole its an allen key hole on mine. you could smash a larger allen key on or hex but would need to be careful of splitting the threads. or just undo the 21mm mount and replace the top mount?

i tried an allen key to sart with, but it just mishaped, cheap allen keys i think... turning the 21mm nut just spins the strut now, what does buzz gun mean buddy?
